Alan Joseph (A.J.) Dufurrena was born in San Luis Obispo, California on February 15, 1964 to David Alan Dufurrena and Loralee Jo Whitlock Dufurrena.  On September 18, 2025, A.J. peacefully moved to Heaven to be reunited with his Savior and all of his loved ones who went home before him.   As a young man, he dedicated his life to the Lord Jesus Christ and is now singing loud and proud with the angels.

A.J. had a big heart and loved spending time with his family more than anything.  His happy place was making special meals for his family.  Among their favorites were tacos with homemade shells and hot wings with his secret sauce.  Following his retirement from the home building industry, A.J. enjoyed fishing, golfing, and working with his hands.   In his free time, he could be found watching sports, attending a game, or defending his family title as Cribbage and Scrabble Champion.  He will long be remembered as Mr. Fix-it, pun master, cat lover, and avid trivia buff.  In the words of his son, Jimmy, "He was a cool, interesting guy you would want to sit down and have a cup of coffee with."

He is preceded in death by his mother, Loralee Whitlock. He is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 36 years, Jamie Bailey Dufurrena; His sons, David, Jimmy, and Joshua; His father and step-mother, David and Laura Ann; His sisters, Teresa and Angela; His cat, George Samson Bailey Dufurrena.

A Celebration of Life will be held in A.J.’s honor on his birthday, February 15, 2026.

Teresa, AJ and Angie... I'm so sorry to learn of your loss. I spent some of my day today remembering 'Mom' and all the great times at Silverlake. She took good care of us!

I always shared a special place in my heart for Loralee. She was always so kind and sweet and thoughtful in all my interactions with her. I remember enjoying a few visits over the years, but this last one stands out just a few months ago. She made it a point to come out of her room to see me, say hi and give me a big hug. I think at that stage it was a lot of work for her, but she always wanted to see me the few times I came around. So that was sweet. She will be missed!

Mom's only been gone for a few days, so as you can imagine we're all still keenly feeling her loss. As one who rarely remembers dreams beyond a few waking moments, I am so thankful to remember upon waking yesterday a dream featuring my mom. It was strange, as dreams are, as to time and place, but my best guess would place it in the mid 80's. Mom was happy and peaceful and she approached me two times that I can recall. Both times she said to me that she was "going up to the loft to rest". My word, even just typing this brings tears to my eyes. My mom has been delivered up to heaven and is now resting peacefully with her Lord. No more sorrow. No more pain. Only joy and peace. Thanks for the visit, Mom. I will hold it close to my heart. I love you and miss you so.
